“We really enjoyed exploring Kolkata with our guide Mayukh, who was very friendly told us a lot of interesting stories about this fascinating city :) Our favourite parts were taking the ferry on the Hooghly River and visiting the Potters' Quarter. I recommend getting some snacks at Indian Coffee House at the end (the vegetable pakoda and buttered toast were delicious.)
